The Power of a Popsicle Walk

Popsicle Walks: Introducing the simple solution to a crazy workday.

This is a habit I created purely out of necessity.

There are many workdays where I blink and it’s 2:13 pm and I haven’t taken a break yet. Cue: a popsicle walk.

I’ve discovered that taking 20 minutes to go on a walk can be the key to productivity. No matter how much work I’ve gotten done that day, or how much there still is left to do, if I can’t focus or am feeling burned out, how productive can I really be? My personal solution to this dilemma is to take a popsicle walk.

Yep. It’s as simple as it sounds. Combining a sweet treat with some midday movement and time outside is the perfect missing puzzle piece to improving my productivity.

Step 1 - Choose your popsicle.

My favorite right now is the fruit frenzy bars from Trader Joe’s.

Step 2 - Put on walking shoes.

Ok, did you really think I was going to list out all the steps? Get creative. Get outside and away from your screens. Bonus points for leaving your phone at home! Try it and comment below if you do to tell me how it went.
